I've requested a review page for Aczone at least twice in the last year and there still isn't a page for it!

The salicylic acid that many of you asked for is now available. I will not be putting this product on the main page of danielkern.com. It will only be available through this link.

I'm keeping the salicylic acid somewhat of a secret because I made a very limited amount of it. I want you guys to give me feedback before deciding whether to make this a staple product. If you do decide to order it I'm asking for you to commit to taking a one page survey on it so we can all decide what we like about it and what needs changing and whether to make it in larger batches for the general public.

More about it:

It is a light feeling, moisturizing cream which has 2% salicylic acid. This is the legal limit. 1 1/2% of that 2% is good 'ol regular sal acid, and 1/2% is time released. After speaking with several master formulators we decided on 1/2% time released so that we get an initial boost of sal acid and some extra lingering and being released slowly. Salicylic acid, as we know, helps peel inside the pore, keeping pores from clogging and initiating acne. I also put a ton of other stuff in this product. I included lichochalcone, a Chinese licorice root extract which is potently calming and soothing to acne-prone skin. This is the same stuff that's in our AHA+. I also put sebum reducers to help control oil. Lastly, I put natural antimicrobials in there. My theory with this product is to attack acne from every possible angle, using all of the very latest performance ingredients on the market.

The cream absorbs quickly into the skin. It is a kind of tan/yellow color due to the licochalcone. It has a characteristic odor due to the combination of natural ingredients. This scent be a little strong when applying it, but it goes away completely in a matter of a minute or two.

My bottom line on it:

You guys know I am always completely honest. Well, here goes some more honesty...salicylic acid is not benzoyl peroxide, no matter what other performance ingredients you put in there. Benzoyl peroxide is our workhorse. It's what will clear up acne completely when used within the Acne.org Regimen. However, I do think this salicylic acid is the best ever made if I do say so myself. It's time released and is jam packed with other stuff that I think will really help. It's absolutely everything I can possibly throw together to bump up salicylic acid's effectiveness. I tried it myself for about six weeks. I used it in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night, which was great because I could wear colored clothing during the day without worrying about bleaching anything. This regimen of sal acid in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night kept me clear for the first four weeks or so, but then I started breaking out just a bit here and there. I prefer 100% perfect skin, so I went back to the full Acne.org Regimen with benzoyl peroxide twice a day.

Currently I keep some of this salicylic acid around and use it as a nighttime moisturizer when I'm in the mood. Because this salicylic acid is so soothing, I can use it with my benzoyl peroxide no problem.

My bottom, bottom line is really to wait until you guys give me feedback on it so we can all decide together how good this stuff is. At that point I'll decide whether to keep making it.

Is that really needed? lol

My spelling is usually way off and so checking back through my posts every time is something i got to do. But everytime i do there is a thing saying i edited it, gaaaaahhh lol is it really nessacary?

That post was a good example lol

damn my spelling lol

The boards have been lagging for me for the past few hours. Every other site I visit pulls right up, but it's taking a really long time to load any pages on Acne.org. It seems like they'll be fine for a few minutes, and then there'll be a long period where it takes, like, two minutes just to pull up a page.

Is anyone else having any trouble pulling up pages?

Ok. Where do you go to see when someone has left you a message?(Ive saved messages or rather "watch this post" or whatever that button is). How do you add/request a friend? Basic stuff like this. LOL. Where can I look at my profile/setting to edit stuff??

Thank you.

Also, how do you add the typing at the bottom of posts, like the signatures. Some people have their daily regimen and updates on how their skin is doing. Ok im done.

Im trying to get my blogs started and when I click on my blogs nothing shows up.??

Camille, the journalist from the NY Times who interviewed me would like to also talk to a few of you. She is easy to talk to and a cool person. I approved her message below. Please email her directly if you'd like to put in your 2 cents.

I've been looking into hormones more lately and polycystic ovary syndrome keeps coming up when it comes to hormonal breakouts in girls/women. The latest research is showing that diet may play a role. I'd love to look into this more. There is an article regarding this topic that came out in September 2009, but it's in German. Could anybody read it for me and have a quick chat with me to explain what the article says? If you can, please reply to this post or PM me. Thanks!

I know that when you log in it will tell you if there is any new posts that have been added to a topic you have started, but is there a function that I'm overlooking that allows you to easily see new posts added to a topic that you haven't started but have participated in? I'm finding it quite tedious navigating through my last 10 posts trying to see if anything has been added by other people to them. And also is there a way to see posts you have made outside of the last 10 that I'm not figuring out?

Many thanks!

How do you get products added to the "treatment reviews" section of this site. I think aczone (prescription) and vit D3 supplement should be added forsure.

Hello,
